how can i make the following condition work if there is no number, so it can handle www.example.com/en/fourthcategory as well as www.example.com/en/fourthcategory/8562
RewriteRule en/fourthcategory/([0-9]+) ?l=en&c=c4&p=$1 [L]
i could use two rules, but would prefer using only one, since in the end there would be double as much rules and there will be quite a lot of categories in at least four languages...
RewriteRule en/fourthcategory/([0-9]+) ?l=en&c=c4&p=$1 [L]
RewriteRule en/fourthcategory ?l=en&c=c4 [L]
or is this not the right approach to create RewriteRules for every possible category separately?
You can try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule en/fourthcategory/?([0-9]*) ?l=en&c=c4&p=$1 [L]
Be carefull, with http://www.example.com/en/fourthcategory/8562, you'll get a final URL like this:
/index.php?l=en&c=c4&p=8562
index.php can be any DirectoryIndex filename of your apache server.

RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ category.php?slug=$1
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)$ product-details.php?slug1=$1&slug=$2
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ infrastructure-details.php?slug=$1
what I have already tried
This is my htaccess file. problem is when I am trying to execute (infrastructure-details.php?slug=$1) its move to (category.php?slug=$1) conflict with first rule of htaccess.
I tired multiple rewrite methods but its not working. Please help to solve this issue.
localhost/project/category.php?slug=pump, localhost/project/infrastructure-details.php?slug=paint second url i want to be-> localhost/project/paint both page is different. can you please specify how to write rules for this different pages.
There is no discernible pattern that differentiates these two URLs so the only way to implement these two rewrites is to hardcode them. For example:
RewriteRule ^pump$ category.php?slug=$0 [L]
RewriteRule ^paint$ infrastructure-details.php?slug=$0 [L]
Where the $0 backreference in the substitution string contains the entire match by the RewriteRule pattern (just saves some repetition).
If you need a more general solution (as your directives suggest) then there needs to be a discernible pattern in the URL that differentiates URLs that should be rewritten to category.php and infrastructure-details.php respectively.
I'm assuming your .htaccess file, and other files, are is inside the /project subdirectory.
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ category.php?slug=$1
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)$ product-details.php?slug1=$1&slug=$2
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ infrastructure-details.php?slug=$1
Rule #1 and #3 conflict - they use exactly the same pattern (regex) to match against the requested URL. The first rule is always going to "win" and rewrite the request before rule#3 is able to process the request, so rule#3 never matches.
To write a generic rule like this there needs to be a discernible difference between the URL types that you can match with a pattern/regex. For example:
/category/pump
/infrastructure/paint
And then you can construct rules...
Options -MultiViews
RewriteRule ^category/([^/]+)$ category.php?slug=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^infrastructure/([^/]+)$ infrastructure-details.php?slug=$1 [L]
Note that the order of these directives can be important. More specific rules need to be before more generalised rules.
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^infrastructure/([^/]+)$ infrastructure-details.php?slug=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ category.php?slug=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)$ product-details.php?slug1=$1&slug=$2 [L]
This is work fine for me. (infrastructure-details.php?slug=$1 [L]) put on top.
Wondering if somebody can help me write some RewriteRule's for my website.
Take a look at the following URLs and see how I need to rewrite them.
http://www.example.com/essays-and-reports/
does not need to be re-written, it is a physical folder on the web server.
http://www.example.com/essays-and-reports/business/
needs to rewrite to (root)/first_level_template.php
http://www.example.com/essays-and-reports/dynamic_name2
needs to rewrite to (root)/first_level_template.php
http://www.example.com/essays-and-reports/business/financial-reports/
needs to rewrite to (root)/second_level_template.php
http://www.example.com/essays-and-reports/blah/financial-reports/C_B_2413_Report_on_savings.php
needs to rewrite to (root)/final_level_template.php
Note the rules must work regardless of a trailing slash. To sum-up, there are three levels which I need to re-write to their relevant template. None of above exists physically on the server including the PHP file for final level. The only thing that exists is the essays-and-reports folder which is main folder for the website.
I tried something like this but I get compile errors in the log.
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /second-level-template\.php [L]
If you could help me write the rules I need - I appreciate it greatly.
EDIT:
This code kind of works but it also rewrites the essays-and-reports folder which I don't want...
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /essays-and-dissertations/
RewriteRule ^[^/]+/[^/]+/[^/]+/?$ /final_level_template.php [L]
RewriteRule ^[^/]+/[^/]+/?$ /second_level_template.php [L]
RewriteRule ^[^/]+/?$ /first_level_template.php [L]
You could do this with 3 rules:
RewriteRule ^essays-and-reports/[^/]+/?$ /first_level_template.php [L]
RewriteRule ^essays-and-reports/[^/]+/[^/]+/?$ /second_level_template.php [L]
RewriteRule ^essays-and-reports/[^/]+/[^/]+/[^/]+/?$ /final_level_template.php [L]
You don't need to escape the dot in your redirect target, since that's not a regular expression.
I am fiddling around with .htaccess and mod_rewrite. I have a site that has two types of URLs which I want to rewrite:
/index.php?nav=$2
/index.php?nav=41&intNewsId=$3 -- 41 is static, the news nav is always 41
I want to rewrite them to:
/pagename/id
/news/pagename/id
I already made a piece of code that works, BUT if I add the last line the second line stops working, and I can imagine thats because the conditions in the third block are also true for the second block. But I cant figure out how to use conditions right. (Both blocks work individual)
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
# Reroute rules that end on /
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9][0-9])$ /$1/$2/ [R]
# Make the system understand pagename/96
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9][0-9])/$ /index.php?nav=$2
# Make the system understand news/pagename/99
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/(.*)\/([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9][0-9])/$ /index.php?nav=41&intNewsId=$3
I tried everything I could think of, but I'm not too familiar with this regex style of typing or conditional blocks in htaccess.
Solution:
I fixed my own code, I just stripped the second $ so the condition didnt interfere with the last one

RewriteRule ^(.*)\/(.*)\/([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9][0-9])/$ /index.php?nav=41&intNewsId=$3
Thanks for the answers all!
Try this:
RewriteRule ^news/.+/([^/]*)$ /index.php?nav=41&intNewsId=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^.+/([^/]*)$ /index.php?nav=$1 [L]
Another approach, perhaps slightly more concise:
RewriteRule ^pagename/(\d+)$ index.php?nav=$1
RewriteRule ^news/pagename/(\d+)$ index.php?nav=41&intNewsId=$1
Try this:
# Make the system understand pagename/96
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/pagename/([0-9]*)
RewriteRule .* /index.php?nav=%1
# Make the system understand news/pagename/99
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/news/pagename/([0-9]*)
RewriteRule .* /index.php?nav=41&intNewsId=%1
Currently my .htaccess looks like this...
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L,QSA]
It currently changes any /xxx.php file into /xxx. This is great for SEO. However, I also want Mr. htaccess to convert certain URLs into a URL + query string. For instance when user goes to
/specific/somerandominfo
Then somerandominfo is passed to the specific.php file. I normally have no problem doing this using rewrites, but because of my fancy catchall rewrite, I can't figure out how to do it.
For example if I add
RewriteRule ^specific/([^/]+)$ /specific.php?somerandominfo=$1 [NC]
to my .htaccess, then hitting up /specific/somerandominfo just serves me a big fat 500 Internal Service Error.
Any help from you apache gurus out there would be so, so cool.
Thanks!
p.s. anybody want to also throw in any other cool SEO tricks that they like? I'll bake you cookies.
You are getting 500 error because your rules are creating an infinite cycle. Check apache error log to see if it is true. So you should design your rules properly. Maybe like that:
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ $1.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$ $1.php?var=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^specific/([^/]+)$ /specific.php?somerandominfo=$1 [NC]
This is mostly correct. I'd just add the B flag, like this:
RewriteRule ^specific/([^/]+)$ /specific.php?somerandominfo=$1 [NC,B]
This causes the capture group $1 to be properly escaped for use in query strings. Note that you can still use QSA to retain the query parameters used in the original request (in addition to somerandominfo).
Perhaps you'll want to post your actual RewriteRule.
I have a strange problem with mod_rewrite, the rules that are relevant here are:
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/igre\-(.*)\.php\?Page=([0-9]+)$ game.php?GameUrl=$2&Page=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/igre\-(.*)\.php$ game.php?GameUrl=$2&Page=1 [L]
And a corresponding URL might look something like this:
example.com/miselne-igre/igre-shirk.php?Page=2
example.com/miselne-igre/igre-shirk.php
The problem is that the first rule has no effect. If I use the first URL from the example I always get 1 into the Page variable, which shows that the second rule is used.
So what's wrong with the first one? And why is the second rule even matching a URL with ".php?Page=XYZ" at the end, if I said that the URL ends with ".php"?
ps: other rules in the .htaccess file are working fine...
The query string is not part of the URI path that is being processed by the RewriteRule directive. You have to use the RewriteCond directive to process the query string.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^Page=[0-9]+$
RewriteRule ^[^/]+/igre-([^/]+)\.php$ game.php?GameUrl=$1&%0 [L]
RewriteRule ^[^/]+/igre-([^/]+)\.php$ game.php?GameUrl=$1&Page=1 [L]
But you can still simplify this by using the QSA flag (query string append):
RewriteRule ^[^/]+/igre-([^/]+)\.php$ game.php?GameUrl=$1 [L,QSA]
mod_rewrite is not using the query in it's rewriting process. Therefor you first RewriteRule is ignored. You could combine it with a RewriteCond (haven't tested it though) like so:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Page=([0-9]+)
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/igre\-(.*)\.php\?Page=([0-9]+)$ game.php?GameUrl=$2 [L, qsappend]
# qsappend appends the original query, in this case (Page=xx)
Ah, like Gumbo said; you can also use %1 to back reference to the page numer.
Is it just me or are your arguments back-to-front?
Do you mean:
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/(.*)\-igre\.php\?Page=([0-9]+)$ game.php?GameUrl=$2&Page=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/(.*)\-igre\.php$ game.php?GameUrl=$2&Page=1 [L]
You wanted to match miselne-igre not igre-miselne.
Obviously this doesn't address the main issue, but thought I'd throw that in.
